Harpies

from I'm not the joke! by Rswll

/

lyrics

Not debonair in this dwell
No holier for hiding
I know better now, I know better
And dead dogs don’t roll over
Swum hearts sink no slower
I know better now, I know better
Hated my heart’s beat
Earthbound, I had cut my feet
But I know better now, I know better
Though I never could be finished with it
I was stood still, collecting commas
Never would outgrow the land where I am the fauna

So see me crawl into the sky
Where I will learn to keep alight
Perhaps gasp through teeth
But I will learn to keep a light

Till I, I am a harpy
All is beneath me
I am a harpy
I am above my blame
I am of proud mistakes
Yet all is beneath me
Among the harpies

There is power in my horror
(Power in my horror)
Sugar in my misery
(Sugar in my misery)
Jewellery, the love shed
(Jewellery, the love shed)
Purity is pedigree
And not the power in my horror
(Power in my horror)
The sugar in my misery, oh
(Sugar in my misery)
Jewelled with the love shed
Carved into my head

I am a raining flame! Mother of hurricanes!
And I am a golden death! Fathered my own last breath!
And I am a blacked out sun shadowing everyone!
And I will not hurt me among the harpies
And I am almighty; I will not hurt me!
I will love me most!
(I will love me most
I will love me most
I will love me most
I will love me most
I will love me most
I will love me most)
